The EU version has just gone gold, a demo has appeared on the Xbox Live Marketplace today and finally the game has flown onto the shelves of all good North American retailers for the 360, Xbox and PC.

"Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII is a very exciting launch for Ubisoft," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "This is the first flight game for Xbox 360, and it takes full advantage of the technological and graphical power of the new system, delivering a truly amazing and gorgeous flight combat gameplay experience like no other game in its genre before."

In Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII, players test their air-combat skills as they experience the most famous battles of World War II. As a squadron leader, players can fly up to 38 WWII aircraft in both single-player and multiplayer missions.

Developed by Ubisoft, Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII features innovative squadron-based combat, in which each artificial intelligence wingman's specialized skill can be used to the pilot's advantage. During the course of the 18-mission campaign, players will evolve along with their wingmen into an ace fighting force. Spectacular graphics enhance the combat experience in true World War II battle sites such as England, Germany, France, Morocco, Pearl Harbor, Midway and Tokyo. The heroic storyline that follows the evolution of a single squadron and the cinematic presentation create moments reminiscent of classic World War II movies. Pilots fly in close to Germany's industrial terrain during a bombing raid or emerge from the fog and cloud cover over London to engage the enemy. Up to 16 players online can engage over the Xbox Live® online game service in head-to-head dogfights or cooperative team play between squadrons in 10 additional missions.

Blazing Angels will ship with an ESRB rating of "T" (Teen) for Xbox 360, Xbox and PC. For more information and updates, please visit www.blazing-angels.com.
